Prototype equivalent to jQuery document.ready?
Walter Lee Davis
Event.observe(window,'load'...), since it knows somehow that the DOM is
ready, even if all the graphics haven't loaded yet.
Is there a similar event I could hook on to in Event.observe that would
get me the benefit of quickly hiding a big page full of tab content
before it has a chance to flash on screen?
Thanks in advance,
Walter

(IE) there are different workarounds.

The simplest solution is to setup an initialisation function (say
called "init()") that you would have called onload and call it from a
script just before your closing body tag, e.g.:
<body>
<!-- lots of stuff ... -->
<script>init && init()</script>
</body>
And save yourself a whole slab of browser-sniffing code that will fail
at least some of the time.

up, and yet I still don't remember it. I should--it's certainly easy
and effective.
At times I wonder whether my brain is hard-wired to select the most
difficult solution available. Maybe one of these days I'll wise up. =)
Thanks Rob!
